Solution Overview

Problem

Property owners face challenges in visualizing how interior design plans, including remodeling and furnishing, will adapt to their actual space before implementation, leading to potential mismatches in furniture size and style.

Innovation Solution

These systems allow for the capture of interior spaces, removal and restoration of existing furniture, and insertion of new furniture, all while adjusting dimensions to ensure a proper fit.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional interior design methods are used without AI visualization, then the design process is simpler and faster to initiate, but the accuracy of visualizing how furniture fits in the actual space is poor, leading to mismatches in dimensions and style

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisualization accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a digital copy of the physical interior space using 3D scanning technology. The captured space is reconstructed as a virtual model that accurately replicates the real-world environment, allowing designers to visualize and experiment with furniture placements without physically moving objects. This digital copying enables precise measurement and visualization while avoiding the complexity of physical prototypes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The AI system acts as an intermediary between the physical space and the design visualization. It mediates by capturing real-space dimensions through 3D scanning, processing this data through neural networks, and generating accurate visual representations of furniture in context. This intermediary layer bridges the gap between physical measurements and visual design planning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If AI systems with 3D scanning and neural networks are implemented, then the visualization accuracy and design precision are improved, but the device complexity and implementation cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign plan accuracyVSAvoidAI system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AI system performs self-service by automatically capturing space dimensions, identifying existing furniture, removing unwanted objects from the virtual model, and inserting new furniture pieces without requiring manual intervention for each step. The neural network autonomously processes the 3D scan data, makes design decisions based on learned patterns, and generates the final visualization, reducing the need for complex manual operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing the 3D scan data, pre-identifying furniture objects, and pre-calculating optimal placements before the actual design visualization is generated. The neural network is trained in advance on large datasets of interior designs, enabling it to quickly generate accurate design plans once the space is scanned, thus managing complexity through advance preparation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If existing furniture is removed and the space is restored, then the accuracy of inserting new furniture is improved, but the processing time and computational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefurniture placement accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses periodic action by implementing real-time or near-real-time processing of furniture removal and insertion operations. Instead of performing all operations sequentially in one lengthy process, the AI system can iteratively remove furniture, restore the space, insert new pieces, and allow users to review and adjust the design in cycles, making the complex process more manageable and faster.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual mechanical operations of measuring, marking, and placing furniture with automated digital processes. The 3D scanning and neural network algorithms substitute for physical measurement tools and manual design drafting, enabling rapid virtual manipulation of furniture objects without the time-consuming nature of physical prototyping or manual calculation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
